Japanese Ebonised Plate Stand — Japan, Circa 1890

A charming Japanese ebonised plate stand dating from circa 1890, retaining its original painted finish and wonderfully aged surface. With a lead-weighted base providing stability, this unusual late 19th-century display stand is both decorative and practical.

Full Description

A beautifully atmospheric Japanese plate stand dating from circa 1890, constructed with an ebonised finish and retaining its original painted decoration and condition.

The stand has a wonderfully simple and elegant form, designed to display a decorative plate or other cherished object. Its lead-weighted base provides excellent stability, while the dark ebonised finish gives the piece a particularly sophisticated appearance.

The original paint has developed a lovely timeworn patina, with surface wear accumulated naturally over more than a century. This honest age and wear are an important part of the character of the piece and give it the distinctive appearance of an authentic antique display stand.

A particularly versatile decorative object, it could be used to display a favourite antique plate, ceramic, artwork or other small decorative piece. Its compact proportions make it equally suited to a mantelpiece, cabinet, shelf or tabletop display.

A lovely example of late 19th-century Japanese decorative furniture, combining simplicity, functionality and beautifully aged original decoration.
